Aligarh: The Vice Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University has ordered immediate withdrawal of the notice issued by the Provost of Abdullah Hall, a hall of residence meant for girl students.
The hostel girls were called upon to wear “decent looking” dress. AMU today clarified that notice was advisory in nature and not be taken as diktat, also that the University does not intend to lay down any particular dress regulation for students.
In the issue of internet, the University encouraged students to use internet and for this, the administration is making arrangement to provide WiFi facility to all the halls of residence for which the work is already underway. “It is however unfortunate that no news of this initiative found any mention in the national media while a fabricated and malicious news was attempted by a section of media without verifying its authenticity,” read the statement issued by the university authorities.
“The objective behind exhorting students to take food at the Dining Halls is only because the University is concerned about the health of its students. We do not want students to eat unhygienic and unhealthy food at wayside eateries. There is no restriction on students visiting hotels and restaurants.”
The University officials further clarified that the very spirit of the circular issued by the Provost of Abdullah Hall was misconstrued and a negative interpretation cropped up, which was not intended. Despite this fact, keeping in view the sensibility of the students and their guardians, the Vice Chancellor has ordered immediate withdrawal of the circular issued by the Provost, Abdullah Hall.
